While I agree that the bread is not as good as those found in Toronto, I thought the banh mi was pretty good. Tons of meat, good mayo and pate.
I'd say the sandwich is definitely better than My Hang (my banh mi nemesis!) and I like it more than Pholicious but I won't push the subject so I'd say it's about the same.
As the sign says, they also have rice dishes and che. They had some com ruou which is always good (your opinion may vary).
One thing: the owner is HILARIOUS. I don't know if she does this in English too but she will tell you her life story and I don't know why. She's a nice lady but, I don't know, it's just too funny! She's the best.
Oh ya, I'm not sure who works when but the owner is a little slow with making sandwiches. Not that there has ever been a line up when I've popped in but I could see a wait happening if there were a few people in the store and she's the only person working there. But I guess that's the price for getting banh mi made fresh... and she's like an elder so what am I gonna say? D: D: D:
[Edit: Worth noting was I had the special sub and not the regular so I can't compare the two. Also, I misremembered the name of my banh mi nemesis. Co Cham is a fine restaurant.]

New entry into the fast food Vietnamese restros. Tiny place run by two ladies. The one helping me didn't seem overly comfortable making up the banh mi. It was awkward watching here trying to assemble the sandwich. They have a regular and a Special (2.50/3.00). I had the special - which came with all the meat options, pickled carrots, cilantro, and hot peppers. While everything was very generous, the bread was not my favorite. I did get it toasted, but it was a roll, while I prefer baguette. Overall the flavours were not quite there. Maybe it was because I had just enjoyed the superior banh mi at Pho'licious.

I've eaten a lot of banh mi, and this is my favourite in Ottawa-- highly recommended.
